How many of you folks play miniature games?

I originally met the guy who got me into paintball (just last year) because we both played miniature games. I mean games like Warhammer, Void, Chainmail where grown men (yeah we're working on it but it is also largely male dominated) move intricately painted models around on what looks like a toy train diorama, roll a lot of dice and say things like,
"everything under this template is DEAD!"

I was just wondering if there were any like minded folk in this forum.

not really a "miniature" game but I used to play Discwars. My buds and I play AD&D on weekends with mini's to represent our battles and whatnot. And usually it's a bunch of lego guys

I use to play WH40k. I still have friends who play every now and then, but they live far from me now and its hard to get out to see them and play a game of 40k. Only thing i dont like about tabletop miniatures is the cost involved...those things aint cheap.

hmm...i wonder where my Chaos Marines are at....

im about to pick up a boatload of orks (about 3k pts worth) from a friend. Im still working on the army list though, basicly im just going for the Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Army of DOOM! with massive amounts of units.

i play with the 'nids(tyranids) in 40k, dwarfs in fantasy, and whatever extra team is available for bloodbowl...i placed third at a local rogue trader tourney with my nids, it would have been first except that they count the personality score and army look score and my army wasnt painted and i dont think the older guys that were playing liked getting beat by a kid

i tied for first for battle points though, some hard fought battles....

Well you see 40K and those games aren't really strategy games in the true sense. They are just hopped up dice games. As we say her in the Palouse....

Hey good luck with those Orks. They are my favorite too. Go with lots of troops, and skip the special stuff unless you want a speed freeks army, and then you still wanna pack as many troops as you can.
